Supporters of Ukraine have unfurled the world’s largest 🇺🇦 flag on the White House ellipse, pushing for the U.S. to continue its aid against the Russian invasion: “Do not abandon Ukraine!”

Where are all the thinkpieces on Trump's cognitive decline

@CFR_org Fiona Hill says the negotiating team sent to talk to the Russians— Witkoff, Rubio, Waltz—lacked the “interpretational context” to read the old America hands Lavrov, Ushakov, Dmitriev. “We don’t have junior varsity here, we have the intramural,” she says.

Sen. Murphy: “Billionaires don't need public schools…If every public school disappears in this country, they will still be able to get their kids an education…Billionaires don't need Medicaid. So to them it doesn't matter if Medicaid disappears.”

Trump has dropped or halted more than 1 in 5 investigations and enforcement actions against corporate lawbreakers. 

At least 34 of those companies — including Tesla, Amazon, and Wells Fargo — gave over $34M to Trump's inaugural. 

It's a new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

Yes. It's clearer every day that the only deal that matters is a secret one between Putin & Trump and that it was made long ago. Sell out Ukraine, embrace Russia, split from Europe & allies, find excuses and spread propaganda as you go along. Molotov & Ribbentrop would be proud.

[Victoria Brownworth @VABVOX]

Trump withdrawing intelligence access to Ukraine to leverage his mineral deal is aiding in the killing of Ukranians. No American should support this. We're supposed to be on the side of democracy.

The Dow has now fallen 2,000 points in the 15 days since the trade war was expanded. The S&P is also down 6.5% over that period.

But at least we can cushion the blow with higher prices, deepening job cuts, falling business investment, and export industry devastation.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Everyone who voted for this - almost every House GOP - voted to cut Medicaid.

When they try to pretend later that they didn’t, know that they are lying to you.

This was the vote. They knew it, we knew it, CBO confirms it.

Good news is we can still defeat it. Time to organize.

Let me make this absolutely clear. Last night bombers took off, drones were launched and missiles were fired from Russia.

Ukrainian air defences knew they were coming, but had no idea what their targets were, because the President of the United States prohibited vital intelligence to be shared with battlefield commanders.

Last night Donald Trump actively assisted an indicted war criminal to murder Ukrainian civilians. America’s president is now a MURDERER as well as a convicted felon. I’m sure Putin will present him with a medal when he visits Moscow.

They think that all veterans support them and are confident that they will be able to dismantle VA without it leaking and outrage. They are wrong. Thousands of veterans and civilians work there because they care about vets and aren't going to sit idly and see them screwed. (1/2)

One of the smallest federal agencies in government, the African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building. Here's the letter ADF sent to DOGE

There you have it and we will stop them.

BREAKING:

Macron just delivered his speech to the nation:

“I’ve decided to begin strategic discussions on protecting our allies on the European continent with our French nuclear weapons”

[bangkokdave @bangkokdave]

These are NEVER jokes. Trump doesn't joke; he's too nasty, humorless and venal. Trump's "jokes" are always just arrogance, putdowns, or threats.

[J.J. McCullough @JJ_McCullough]

I feel like conservative intellectuals have put a lot of effort into trying to cast JD Vance as this brilliant, insightful, creative thinker, but in practice he just seems like a smug, nasty jerk brimming with contempt and dark, sneering, cruel sarcasm for anyone not himself.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

“The people are what matter to government, and a government should aim to give all the people under its jurisdiction the best possible life.”

Words from Frances Perkins, FDR's labor secretary and an architect of Social Security.

Remember this as the program is under attack.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

In my whole life, now 70 years, I have never seen a coward like Merrick Garland. I have never seen someone completely fail to do the most basic aspects of their job. IMO he was given his job because he didn't get the Supreme Court appointment. This "make good" was disastrous.

[Marc Polymeropoulos @Mpolymer]

Quite an own goal. We r allowing an increased Russian intel presence in the US. Incredibly shortsighted-we worked for years to kick them out. And new FBI boss wants to reduce number of CI squads. Russian intel is thrilled-will run rampant in the US.
